Vodafone Fiji 7s prop Viliame Mata will not be available for Hong Kong 7s selection tomorrow after being released from camp as he has conjunctivitis.
Team Manager Ropate Kauvesi says Nemani Nagusa and Josateki Tuilawaki were the other two players who had the virus but they have been isolated.
Kauvesi adds that Mata’s case was serious and they had to release him to avoid the spread of the bug in camp.
He says other players are ready for selection tomorrow.
The 14 member squad will be announced tomorrow at Uprising Beach Resort.
Fiji is the defending champion of the Hong Kong 7s.
Fiji is pooled with Canada, Wales and Korea in Pool D of the Hong Kong 7s which will be held from next Friday to Sunday.
